Woman faked pregnancy, beat mom with tire iron to steal baby

Officers say Andrea Endara-Paredes, 24, became friends with the 22-year-old victim and had been helping her find a job.
Endara-Paredes had been faking her own pregnancy, police told WBTV, and had been preparing for a baby at her home though she was not pregnant.
According to a police report, Endara-Paredes assaulted the mother with a tire iron and pepper spray Tuesday night around 9:30 p.m. She then kidnapped the woman and her two children.
